LED Will Lead the Way for China Intelligent Lighting

Dutch Trader submits: A number of global trends are changing the way people use light. Thanks to the use of nano-structured semiconductors or organic polymers, inorganic and organic light emitting diodes (also known as LED and OLED) are disruptive technologies, likely to change the lighting landscape of this century.The CN Tower in Toronto and the China Expo 2010 Pavilion in Shanghai are a few examples of light emitting diodes (LED) lighting in use. Lighting solutions are transforming urban environments, creating livable cities through the use of light to enhance safety, municipal identity and residential well-being: consumers are increasingly applying lighting to create their own ambiance at home; building owners and retailers are recognizing the benefits of energy-efficient lighting in reducing their operational costs; and schools are learning how lighting can improve education. New LED lighting also paves the way for new applications in electronic products. This technology makes many products lighter, better,Complete Story »

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Isamu Akasaki and Hiroshi Amano of Japan and U.S. scientist Shuji Nakamura won the Nobel Prize in physics on Tuesday for the invention of blue light-emitting diodes, a breakthrough that spurred the development of LED technology used to light up computer screens and modern smartphones.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences says their invention is just 20 years old, “but it has already contributed to create white light in an entirely new manner to the benefit of us all.”

Founded by renowned Royal Designer for Industry Terence Woodgate in early 2014, Terence Woodgate Lighting Limited (TWL) designs and produces lighting collections that are optimised for LEDs. Energy efficient, high output LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are driven by a compact chip. This opens up entirely new design options, enabling the light source to be integrated into the fitting itself and removing the need for conventional bulbs.

Milan’s world Expo in 2015 will ensure that a huge number of countries and people are made aware of nutrition – one of the most pressing issues of our times, says Dante Martinelli, Switzerland’s Commissioner General to the Expo.
Martinelli, a diplomat from Italian-speaking Ticino, has a long career behind him as a Swiss ambassador to Italy, the European Union in Brussels, China (scene of the last Expo of 2010) and the United Nations in Geneva. He was appointed Commissioner General to the Expo in 2012.

The China “experience” is creating numerous secular trends and producing tremendous wealth for Chinese entrepreneurs in various industries. For example, higher incomes help retail and consumer electronics firms. Healthcare reform will lead to better quality and distribution of drugs. Increased emphasis on education has spawned many “brick & mortar” and online schools.
